Its easy ,just clean any paint off fork tube down to fork where crown rests, then place crown over fork tube,push down until it wont go any further by hand then tap each side as you go but not on smooth bearing surface but on the flat rim ,use hammer and flat edge, pedal spanners good place spanner against fork tube and edge of spanner on race crown rim tap tap tap usually its a case of cleaning area of paint hope this helps ,obviously you should use special tools but ive done this way for years then crown race should sit on top of forkcrown evenly
